Arivya Silver, a Bengaluru based silver jewellery brand, has released a detailed buying guide on festival jewellery for the Diwali 2026 season. The guide is aimed at shoppers who are ready to buy and want clear answers on what to choose, what to check before paying and when to order so that the piece arrives before the festival.

With Dhanteras on 6 November and Diwali on 8 November 2026, demand for necklaces, earrings and rings is rising across India. Arivya Silver says many buyers still leave festival jewellery to the last week, when popular designs and ring sizes are already sold out and courier timelines are tight. The new guide, published on the brand's blog at arivyasilver.com, treats festival jewellery as a planned purchase with a budget, a deadline and a short list of pieces matched to specific outfits.

What the guide covers

The guide begins with timing. It advises shoppers to order at least ten days before the date they need the piece, which means the last week of October for Dhanteras and by 1 November for Diwali night. It explains that online ordering gives more time to compare designs but also makes delivery schedules important, especially for customers outside metro cities.

It then walks through the main categories of festive silver jewellery. Necklace sets with matching earrings are presented as the most versatile purchase because they work for pooja, family dinners and weddings in the same month. Earrings are described as the easiest way to refresh an outfit and the safest gift when the recipient's size is unknown. Rings are covered with practical advice on measuring size correctly, and chains and haars are positioned as layering pieces that work across outfits.

The guide also addresses quality. It encourages buyers to ask for the purity grade in writing, compare weight and not just design, inspect the clasp and finish, and confirm whether any coloured stones are natural, synthetic or simulated. It points readers to the Bureau of Indian Standards for information on hallmarking and to the Gemological Institute of America for consumer guidance on gemstones.

Lessons from this season's festival offers

The guide uses the recent Malabar Gemstone Jewellery Festival as a case study in how festival discounts work. Malabar Gold and Diamonds ran the campaign across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, offering up to 25 percent off on making charges for gemstone and uncut jewellery until 14 September 2026. Arivya Silver notes that such offers reduce the making charge, not the metal or stone value, so shoppers should calculate the final bill against the same design without the offer before judging the saving.

The guide also explains the difference between consumer festivals and trade events on the India jewellery festival calendar. Trade shows such as IIJS Bharat Premiere 2026, held in Mumbai from 5 to 10 August, and the India Gem and Jewellery Show, held from 2 to 4 October, are aimed at industry buyers. They shape the designs that reach stores later in the season, which is a reason to shortlist early.

Pricing and budgeting

To help shoppers plan, the guide uses current prices from the Arivya Silver catalogue. Rings such as the Shauryen Ring and the Gajavardhan Ring start at around ₹3,000. Earrings such as the Nayara Earrings are priced at ₹8,782, and the Elara Earrings at ₹19,387. Necklace sets in the Dhara collection go up to premium statement pieces such as the Suryarekha Necklace Set at ₹61,206. The guide suggests a simple budget split, with around half spent on the piece the buyer will wear most, about a third on a gift or second piece and the remainder kept for sizing changes or a matching accessory.

Collections and customer support

Arivya Silver's catalogue covers necklaces, pendants, rings, earrings, bangles, bracelets, anklets, chains and haars, organised into the Viraasat, Sigma, Aurum, Dhara, Nityam and Swaraa collections. Viraasat leans towards heritage inspired metalwork and stone settings, while Sigma offers bolder, more contemporary designs. The brand publishes its shipping, refund and return, and exchange and buyback policies on its website so customers can read the terms before ordering.

"Festival shopping goes wrong when people decide in a hurry," said a spokesperson for Arivya Silver. "We wrote this guide so that a buyer can sit down for ten minutes, set a budget, check purity and weight, and place an order with enough time left for delivery or an exchange."
